Applications are invited for an immediate Postdoctoral position within the Cognitive Performance Optimization Laboratory (COPOL) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick. The candidate will perform research in the area of multiscale modeling and failure analysis of high-performance light materials such as Long Fiber Thermoplastic Composites under high strain rate deformations. The candidate will also use several experimental techniques to characterize the advanced materials such as Quasi static, elevated, and high strain rate uniaxial tension and compression tests, EBSD measurements, fractography, and SEM and TEM studies.
The candidate will be expected to contribute to a vibrant multidisciplinary research group and be able to work in close collaboration with industrial and governmental partners. The project will be externally funded and strong oral and communication skills will be required. Knowledge of solid mechanics, high performance computing and programing, materials science, and finite element modeling (LS-DYNA, ABAQUS) will be crucial. Please send CV and sample publications to Mohsen.Mohammadi@unb.ca
